…Pumpkin Cheesecake…

… i’ll apologize in advance, as this post is going to be a little bias, seeing as i might be a little emotionally attached to this particular treat…

… but, I felt it was my responsibility as a dedicated pumpkin bloggette to let you know that Marie Calendar’s has a DELICIOUSLY intense Pumpkin Cheesecake…

… it’s taken me nearly a week to make a dent in this decadence as it is extremely rich… BUT, i applaud Marie for her ability to make something that embodies the ideal pumpkin flavor… it’s so much more than just cheesecake- it’s definitely pumpkin… and so much more than pumpkin pie– it’s definitely cheesecake…

… this concludes my review of the delightful treat pictured above… cheesy story and one more photo after the jump… read at your own risk…

… we saw this enticing dessert while we were in Valencia, Ca enjoying Six Flags Magic Mountain… and i was completely depressed that I couldn’t sample a piece of said fall delight… but a day of whirly-twirly roller coasters and 95 degree weather had left my tummy feeling not quite itself… so i had to opt out of dessert… and trust me, it takes A LOT for me to not get dessert… but i was spinning… ugh…

… anyways… once my tummy was back in it’s proper place (5 haunted houses later, surprisingly) i wanted my pumpkin cheesecake… but marie calendars was closed when we left the park 😦 …so i did what any normal, mildly obsessed person would do- and googled it…

… the closest Marie Calendars to our humble so-cal abode was off of “Alvarado Road”, which sounded strikingly familiar to him… but didn’t register in the least for me… so i let it go… and figured I’d just have to whip up a pumpkin cheesecake in my spare time (please note: this is cynicism. i have no free time)… but I did find a really yummy recipe for one last year… so i figured it could probably happen…

… until the following Thursday, when i returned home from a 14 hour day of work and class and headed for the fridge… for a piece of fruit, obviously… i definitely wasn’t looking for something sweet… um, yeah… anyways… when i opened the fridge- i saw this…
